Phoebe's Knee: A Tish McWhinny Mystery

Rating:
Summary: Unlikely plot, likeable characters
Review: This book has some sweet and mildly interesting characters, but its plot borders on the ridiculous. A rather hip and apparently super-agile and -fit 65-year-old woman gets herself into unlikely situations for even a youngster, let alone an elderly mystery-solver. Add to that the "evil" cult which has moved into a small fictitious Vermont town and the rather silly and far-fetched goings-on leading up to an anticlimactic jumble at the end, and you have a very light, almost comical read that may be suitable for an afternoon at the beach, and I will admit that it kept me at least mildly entertained. However, the shocking number of typos and grammatical errors in the copy of the book I had were thoroughly distracting and disappointing.
